Bazett had successfully drawn away the absolute majority of the Einzworth Family's fighting power as planned.
Emiya Shirou's task was to find his sister and Illya's magic wand, but the Einzworth Family's estate was vast, making it difficult to locate.
Mo Shuying and Kuro, meanwhile, were to enter the castle and find Darius.
In fact, Mo Shuying and Kuro's movements had been detected, but just as Emiya Shirou had said, there were only a few members of the Einzworth Family left, making defense stretched thin. For now, they could only allow Mo Shuying and Kuro to proceed, until they reached a spacious, enormous room. Darius was sitting there, waiting for them.
"Since you're here, why not show yourselves?" Darius spoke, his voice sounding quite calm and weary.
Mo Shuying revealed himself, but Kuro did not; she hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
"Heh, we meet again." Darius sneered, showing no fear whatsoever.
Mo Shuying looked around and asked, "Where's that little girl?"
"...It's normal for a child to sleep in, isn't it?" Darius replied, his eyes instinctively glancing backward.
Mo Shuying naturally didn't believe him. "You call someone who's lived longer than you a child? Your perception is a bit off." Mo Shuying knew that Erica's identity was not simple; her real name wasn't Erica, but Pandora. The very Pandora of Pandora's Box. Here too, if Erica were to act, she could unleash Pandora's Box and summon the sludge of All the World's Evil.
"You really do know a lot! But it doesn't matter. None of you will escape today; you'll all die here and become material for my experiments. I wonder how strong an [automaton] made from your body would be." Darius displayed a strange, confident smile. Just as Mo Shuying was about to retort, suddenly!
"Look out!" Kuro suddenly appeared behind Darius, her twin blades slashing at his neck!
However, Darius didn't even turn around. A burst of black energy rapidly expanded, instantly pinning Kuro to the ground, rendering her immobile!
"Black Jade Emperor's Hidden Visage!" Darius smiled, trying to suppress Mo Shuying, but it still had no effect. A strange potion bottle popped out from Mo Shuying's body, which he then caught and made disappear.
"It's useless. If this is your trump card, then I'm sorry, but you can leave the stage." Mo Shuying took a step forward, bringing with him a terrifying aura and oppressive pressure. Darius watched Mo Shuying, who had become somewhat terrifying after releasing his Mana, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead, but the smile remained on his lips.
"You can try! The Permanent Ice Palace of 301 Seconds!" Darius roared, and countless ice crystals instantly surged forth in front of him! In the blink of an eye, an ice palace formed. Darius sat on the throne with a faint smile, supremely confident in this Boundary Field Noble Phantasm.
"This Noble Phantasm will exhaust all oxygen after 301 seconds. Even you, without oxygen, shouldn't be able to survive, right? Of course, you can try to struggle and see if you can break through this eternal ice crystal!"
*Boom!!*
As soon as Darius finished speaking, the entire ice palace trembled. Darius's heart fluttered with panic, afraid of being publicly humiliated.
But thankfully, it quieted down afterward. Darius had just let out a sigh of relief when suddenly!
*Rumble!!*
Above Fuyuki City, large masses of thunderclouds gathered! The black clouds were heavy and dark as ink, exuding an intense sense of oppression. Countless bolts of lightning accumulated within the clouds, streaks of blue light flashing. Then, abruptly!
*Boom!*
A massive lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking directly into the center of the giant crater!
A Boundary Field appeared, only to be easily shattered by the lightning. The Einzworth Family, hidden for five years, was revealed in that moment.
*Boom!!*
The massive lightning bolt directly pierced the castle roof and slammed into the ice palace!
The ice palace's defenses were incredibly strong, whether from the inside or outside. For a moment, countless bolts of lightning scattered everywhere!
"Hmph!" One of them shot towards Darius, forcing him to get up and dodge. Black Jade Emperor's Hidden Visage momentarily failed, and Kuro instantly pushed off the ground with her arms, disappearing from view.
*Rumble rumble rumble!*
The thunder in the sky was ceaseless, as if the wrath of this world was finally being unleashed. Even Illya and the others saw what was happening.
"Brother..." Miyu called out worriedly from the window. Illya, beside her, didn't know how to comfort her, as she was also very worried.
Just then, "Ugh... Einzworth, annihilate."
Tanaka suddenly shot up, but this time she didn't collapse again. Instead, she walked off the bed as if sleepwalking.
"Huh? Ms. Tanaka, you're awake? Eh? Where are you going?"
Illya was taken aback seeing Tanaka walk out the door. It's freezing, and you're going out in shorts, big sis? Where are you off to?
Illya aside, the supposedly permanent ice palace finally showed cracks under divine might, then disintegrated into specks of light.
*BOOM!*
A bolt of lightning, no longer obstructed, struck the ground. Mo Shuying, holding Mjolnir in his left hand, fully absorbed the impact.
"What? Has it been 301 seconds?"
Mo Shuying was crackling with electricity, looking like the God of Thunder reborn. Darius couldn't help but curse at Mo Shuying's appearance.
"Useless! If Beatrice hadn't dropped that card! How could you possibly have broken my Noble Phantasm!"
Darius's face was filled with resentment, but Mo Shuying wasn't pleased by his words.
"I don't like what you're implying. Are you suggesting I couldn't have broken your ice palace without that card? Fine, then, take a look at this!"
A flash of lightning enveloped Mo Shuying, and his leather armor and divine hammer disappeared, replaced by glittering golden armor.
Mo Shuying shook his head, two ruby earrings now adorning his ears. He held his right hand in a reversed grip in front of him, and then!
"Om~"
A small golden gate of light appeared at Mo Shuying's feet, and from it floated an odd weapon with a golden hilt and a red blade.
"You!"
The moment Darius saw the sword, his eyes widened to their limit. At that instant, his mind was filled with one word!
Run!
"Hahahahaha! Come on! Try this!!"
Mo Shuying grabbed the hilt and burst into laughter! Mana surged wildly into the weapon! The segmented blade of Ea (Sword of Rupture) began to spin at its tip!
Only one segment spun, yet it stirred up a terrifying red storm! Mo Shuying controlled his power, not unleashing his full might, but it was already enough!
*SWISH!*
Mo Shuying gave a slight flick, and the swirling storm swept forth! Like a tornado capable of cleaving worlds, it enveloped Darius, who had turned to flee! The next second!
"No!!"
*BOOM!!*
The storm swept onward, unstoppable.
Wherever it passed, it left nothing but desolation, wiping everything away.
Emiya Shirou had just arrived at a treasure vault. The next second, the vault was flattened by the storm. Countless treasures were destroyed, and countless more were swept away and flung out.
A magic wand wrapped in sealing cloth flew towards Emiya Shirou. Emiya Shirou reached out and caught it. The sealing strips fell away, revealing a red ruby magic wand inside.
"Hmm?"
Emiya Shirou let out a soft "hmm," then tore off all the sealing cloth. The ruby's body trembled, "slowly waking up," and became incredibly excited after "seeing" Emiya Shirou!
"Wow!! I've found my family!"
